Abstract
Gamma ray shielding properties have been assessed in terms of both linear and mass attenuation coefficient, half-thickness, and buildup factor using Al2O3/PbO-based ceramic material. These properties are influenced by the atomic number that is related to the density, as well as ionic bonds that are related to ceramic material. Al2O3 and PbO are promising gamma ray absorbing materials due to the ionic bond and high effective atomic number respectively, which attenuate gamma ray strongly. Due to the demand of applications and their requirements in industrial facilities and moving toward improving the performance of materials related to nuclear products in terms of design, manufacturing and low cost. This article presents interesting results of high values of mass attenuation coefficient of Al2O3/PbO groups in comparison to lead. Whereas, the interesting half-thickness values of these ceramic groups are relatively low. Furthermore, the buildup factor values are more than a unit of ceramic groups.
